Granit Xhaka’s goal and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty saw Arsenal beat Man United 2-0 at the Emirates and inflict a first Premier League defeat on Man United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Granit Xhaka opened the scoring after 12 minutes when David De Gea appeared to be deceived by his swerving long-range shot, with Aubameyang sealing the points from the spot after the break.

The Gunners had shown their attacking intent in the opening moments, SeadKolasinac’s cross just eluding Alexandre Lacazette.

Alexandre Lacazette’s strike partner Aubameyang was soon into the action, shooting over, but United clicked into gear and hit the bar when Luke Shaw foundBack came United as the open start continued, Fred’s strike beating Bernd Leno but coming back off the post, and at the other end Aaron Ramsey scooped over after a neat build-up.
